 Ignorance needs some major TLC:

  * Move to using either an XML file, or (preferably) Pidgin's preference
 API.
  * Rework the configuration dialog so that it's not so cramped...ideas
 welcome
  * Since I removed the /commands a new way to get the configuration dialog
 might be a good idea--a new /command, a button in the menutray, or
 something along those lines.
  * ~~Ideally I'd like to have (if it's possible) one core ignorance plugin
 and two frontends - one for Pidgin and one for Finch.  I'm thinking have
 the core plugin just act according to preferences, and have the frontend
 plugins modify the preferences.~~

 Thoughts?
